I understand that…what I’m asking if you just mix thoroughly and then add to your reservoir or…mix thoroughly and let it sit and completely dissolve and then add it to your reservoir. The nutes I use have a lot of small water soluble particles I’ve noticed and they don’t dissolve immediately. I tested it in a cup. Water is really cloudy with a lot of particles floating when I first add it and then after mixing and letting sit for about an hr it’s crystal clear.
I use liquid fert as well but there are just a bunch of tiny particles. But yes, that makes sense to let it completely dissolve and clear up then add it. I normally just refill reservoir, mix nutes based on how many gallons I pour in and then add nutes and stir a bit. I actually never noticed there were that many undissolved solids in there which brought forth the question. I know my nutes usually lower ph so after adding I correct and forget. But yes. Measuring ph after rest would be worth checking though I don’t think it’d change much. I’d be much more interested in the ppm measurements after rest…too bad I don’t have a ppm meter.
I usually feed once every week. Like I said I don’t have a ppm meter so I honestly don’t know what the uptake of my plant is. All I know is she drinks at least 3 gallons per week so I just assume she’s eating good. I really need to get a meter. This will be her last feeding before flush as she is close. I’m going to mix them tonight and let it sit overnight and add tomorrow. Never done that before. Going to experiment.
